To be honest, that just struck me as more "whataboutery" designed to 
divert attention from the suggestion at the top of this thread:

Yuri has, to put it politely, been "economical with the actualité" all 
the way through this process, such as the claim that he waited "about 4 
days" for discussion here to die down when in fact the actual time was 
38 hours.

Whilst there's still discussion going on about (for example) which way 
around a colon-separated tag should go it makes sense to me to at the 
very least step back for a bit.

Best Regards,

Andy
